Abstract (en)
The invention starts out from the consideration that a content, context or the like as entered by a user may be used to automatically evaluate a recipient or recipients which the message is directed to. An aspect of the invention is a method for filling a recipient address field of an electronic message in a messaging application executable on a computer, said method comprising the steps: - selecting a content chunk from a content area of said message; - deciding whether said content chunk matches a predefined addressee identifier pattern; and - if said content chunk is decided to match said predefined addressee identifier pattern: - extracting a name portion from said content chunk, - comparing said name portion with an entry of entries of a predefined directory, and - if said name portion matches said entry: - creating a recipient address proposal based on an address stored in said entry and suitable for a format of the electronic message, and - filling said recipient address proposal into said recipient address field of said message. A similar aspect is a method for filling a sender address field of an electronic message. Further aspects are a device for filling an address field of an electronic message, and a software product for filling an address field of an electronic message.
